The Austrian troops are now armed
with the Mannlicher magazine gun, and
the Government has a supply sufficient for
reserves, militia and her regularly occu-
pied army. The gun is powerful long
range snal-bore, and better arm by far
than anything Russian troops possess.
Austria also has for several years been en-
gagged in recognizing her army and get
| ting her reserves and militia into such
shape that they can be largely utilized in
Il few hours notice Aside from the Land
sturm her army in time of peace has 276,-
496 men, which, in ten days can be in
creased to 1888, $50 according to the last
enrolment returns. She has, with her
hungarian troops, and if she is Joined
by Germany, an army that slightly out
numbers that of Russia As Austria can
move and concentrate her troops more
rapidly than Russia, because of better and
greater railroad facilities, she enjoys a
special advantage over Russia. The mill

but they are very poorly or not at all
trained, and would be useless for the front.
but good enough for garrison duty or a
home guard. There are no evidences that
Russia has been especially engaged in
strengthening her army, or that she has
been laying in stores and munitions of
war. 1t is certain that she has ordered no
new arms, and it is therefore a reasonable
conclusion that she does not intend to be
aggressive when she moves cavalry corps
to her southwestern frontier. That the
Gar keeps his eye upon possible seat on
the Bosporus that Russia has not for
gone her ambition to occupy Constantine
pie; that she will seize upon any favora-
bic opportunity to drive the Turk out of
Europe; these are matters admitting of
no question; but that she is ready Just
now to measure swords with Austria, and
with Germany as a possible ally of the
latter, is, however, not supported by the
well understood facts concerning her army
and its present equipment.

SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO TIE EEooRpusIos,.

ORovILLE, December 22d.-Hundre&s OF
eager visitors still throng the Pavihoa-the
United States crowded into Butte. Interest
in the fair is steadily increasing. There was
a grand excursion from Chico and Marys-
vile. Last night was the second Of the
fair. and the people were even more eager
and enthusiastic than they were on the
night previous. Many more came up on
the evening train, and by o'clock the i'm
mense pavilion was entirely filled, stand
ing being difficult. The electric light
burnel brighter, and the magnificent dis
play seemed even more beautiful than ever
before.
ALL CENTRAL AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Are wild with Joy over the grand success of
the first Butte county citrus fair. No longer
can Southern California lay claim to all the
charms in the State. We admit that they
grow oranges down there, but ours are bet
ter. and we raise many other fruits, such as
cherries, plums, grapes, dates, prunes, etc.,
that it does not pay to grow down there.

Breeding Draft Horses.

We know of no department. OF
the farm that pays better than rails
ing draft horses. A good 2-year'
old FLY, sired bya good draft horse
and from a good native mare will
sell at 121 cents per pound. a 4,
good gelling three yeays old will
sell for as much. Will anything
else pay betterg
On this subject of horse raising
we have some notions that may
seem whimsical. We believe, for
instance, that a better horse can be
raised on dry LAND than wet,
on rolling or rough land than
smooth, on blue grass than on clo-
yer, and OH grass than on corll'
Why7 The horse that.is raised on
wet land will have bad foot be-
cause it is always moist and soft,
whilst if the land be dry,sit will

have a better muscular develop
ment than one that has no up hill
or down hill exercise. The horse
raised on blue grass will have BET

nutritious and less bulky grass
The horse raised to three years Old
OH grass, hay and oats with just
enough corn to keep up heat in
cold weather, wilIoutwear the corn
fed colt. OF course if you want to
Sell him for Il big price to Shippers
you must consult fashion and make
him hogfat. When buyers getgood
sense this will not be necessary, but
until then it's II good way to mar
ket corn. How much grain is need
ed to raise colt? Given plenty OF
grass in summer, a winter pasture,
good hay and shelter from storms,
and the eutire amount of grain
needed to take a colt from weaving
time till it is three years old and
IcdtS w LIZ WI dCu'NC N.Y. NJ ~ 49,
over 80 bushels, of which % should
be oats. This allows four quarts of
oats per day from weaving time
till grass comes. 1t allows q light
corn ration for about month in
the spring between hay and grass.
Colts raised in this way will wear,
ana their future development will
be an agreeable surprise to the for
tunate owner, whereas colt showed
right along on u heavy corn diet
will sell high and look we'll, and be
gritf and disappointment to the
buyel.
It's always a pleasant thing to
hearfa good word from the young
stock you sell, and our experience
is that stock raised in this way
gives entire satisfaction to the
buyer.-Iowa Homestead.

A Two.Edged Saying.

A great deal Of sound, practical
wisdom is enclosed in che common
saving, "Consider the source."-
And 1t is two edged saying
On the one hand, it may serve to
comfort when we are criticised by
those who either know nothing OF
the facts of the Case or are preju-
diced against US and al! that we do
or say. We may be CALLED, annoy
ed, vexed; but after all, when we
consider the source andrefect that
from the foolish we must expect
folly, ignorance from the ignorant,
and spleen and venom from the
spiteful and jaundlced, we feel in.
cllned to comfort ourselves. But
there are times when the contem-
plation of the source Of the criti-
oism adds bitterness. When 1T
comes from those who ought to
know better, but will not learn, the
feeling of depression is increased.
When from those who do know bet
ter and prove their knowledge by
their works, we may learn to recog-
nize the medicine, bitter and nau.
seous perhaps, but really beneficial
and giving tone to the system
But 1T Is hard to acknowledge that
others know better than we, nc
. doubt of that.
